Respect is being all you can be,<br /> Even if it&#039;s &quot;just me&quot;.<br /> All you have to be is you,<br /> That&#039;s all you really have to do. - Me

When you feel low,
Lift your head from your toe,
&amp; sing out loud,
Strong &amp; proud.

When you want to cry,
Point your head to the sky,
&amp; scream for joy,
Like a kid with a new toy.

When you feel hopeless,
Simply do this,
&amp; you will see,
How different things will be.

When nothing is right,
Shine your light so bright.
You never know,
Who's watching below.
